you're taking the problem to the samba mailing lists then?

Repeat after me: UDP IS STATELESS.

Indeed, a quick examination of the output of netstat on any OpenBSD
system shows that the state column is *always* empty for UDP sockets.

As for answering requests, how do you know it isn't?  Did you trace
the process?  Did you use tcpdump to confirm that the packets were
being received?  Have you confirmed that your pf config isn't blocking
them?

It's been years since I've had to deal with samba, so I can't really
help you further...other than to point out that you failed to provide
any information about your system or the samba you're running.  What
version of OpenBSD?  Did you install the samba package from the ftp
site, or did you build the port yourself, or did you download the
source and build it yourself without using the ports framework?
